Tools and Hardware Reviews of Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series 1300-Watt Garment Steamer
Customer Review: One of the best pieces of equipment you can own
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic piece of equipment. I researched steamers for weeks before purchasing, and finally settled on this one because it had the best reviews. They were well-deserved! This product takes less than 2 minutes to produce lots of steam. The metal hook where you hang your garmet is sturdy, allowing for better steaming, and it is easy to remove and fill the water container. Also, this removes wrinkles after one slow swipe with the steaming wand. No, this does not put creases in pants, but it removes wrinkles so easily that you won't miss the crease. That is what an iron is for, if you ever decide to use one again after this beauty.
Note: the best way to steam is to hang the garment, place the wand INSIDE the garment, and slowly run the wand down, from the top to the bottom, while holding the bottom of the garment firm with your other hand. This may sound involved, but it isn't. It is very easy - after you do it once, you get it.
Customer Review: A good quality product
Summary: 5 Stars
Prior to buying I did loads of research on various types of steamers and Jiffy got the best reviews. No wonder it is fabulous. It halves (if not more) my ironing time. It's so quick and simple to set up it's worth getting out for 1 item. I have much better results on T-shirts, camis and polo shirts and around buttons (doesn't flatten the collars like irons do). Duvet covers are much quicker- although it takes some time to work out a good system (but persevere it is possible- you can even iron them on the bed!). As others stated shirts are not as crisp but on the whole they are good- (again practice needed) and depends how fussy you are. You do need to develop some hanging system and have all your clothes on hangers beore you start because once you get going the clothes disappear fast. One down side- have to be careful of getting too close to the steam with fingers when you first use it. Would probably have been a good idea to buy the hanging board as well.Customer Review: Wrinkles REALLY do fall out
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, the Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series 1300-Watt Garment Steamer makes wrinkles fall right out of worsted wool suits, jackets, and slacks, cotton dress shirts, and on all but the thickest fabrics. Tug just a little as you work and find yourself slack-jawed in appreciation. I steamed 3 suit jackets/slacks, 3 odd jackets and 3 odd slacks as well as two cotton handkerchiefs on one tank of water.
Very solid construction. Not flimsy in any respect. Even the power switch is well-designed such that an accidental bump will only turn the steamer off. It's very tall but the footprint is small. Though it may appear top heavy, it isn't. A full tank of water and the corner placement of the wheels assures a stable base to work from.
Keep in mind that the hose gets hot, so don't grab it or let it lie against your skin.
Customer Review: Great at gettng rid of wrinkles, but not sturdy
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a stylist and use this to steam clothing for photo shoots. It works great on all fabrics, I use it for denim, silk, satin, cotton, nylon, ect. The only thing that bothers me is that it is very unstable. We have two and one constantly leaks water all over the floor because it has fallen over multiple times. If the garment that you are steaming is too heavy then the steamer may fall over. Also, the pole to hang the clothes on becomes loose after doing the front and turning the garment to steam the back. The pole is only one height which makes it complicated to steam floor length gowns.
If anyone has trouble getting wrinkles out, try steaming from the inside of the garment. If there are still wrinkles then they are probably permanent. I've had knitted t-shirts that still have faint wrinkles after multiple steams, it probably has something to do with the production of the garment, not the steamer.
Customer Review: Excellent steamer
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a Jiffy handheld steamer for travel and found myself using it at home frequently because it's so much easier than ironing. The handheld version is great but not quite powerful enough for everyday use so I decided to invest in the full size and it was the best laundry-related purchase I ever made. This steamer is high quality, the base is balanced and the pole is very steady, even with a heavy garment hung on it. I steam everything from featherweight silk blouses to heavy wool suits with ease. I don't bother with creases but I think they would be easy with a steam board. The steamer doesn't sputter or spit hot water and is ready to use in 2 minutes with a powerful, steady flow of steam. I use it every morning and probably fill it up once a week. I still burn myself occasionally trying to get my hands too close but that's my own laziness in not using an oven mitt. Highly recommended.
